    Principles of High-Quality Assessment

    • Reliability: Ensures consistency of assessment results when tests are repeated; results should be stable and dependable over time.
    • Validity: Measures the extent to which an assessment accurately reflects what it is intended to evaluate; a valid test assesses the knowledge or skills it was designed to assess.
    • Equity: Focuses on providing equal opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to succeed on assessments; ensures that assessments are fair and inclusive.

    Main Topic

    • The primary focus revolves around effective assessment practices and their characteristics in educational settings.

    Importance of Distractors

    • Distractors in multiple-choice questions serve to challenge students' knowledge and critical thinking; they help gauge a student's understanding and eliminate guessing.

    Good Stem Characteristics

    • A well-designed stem should avoid ambiguity and be clear; it must not include irrelevant information that could confuse the test-taker.

    Purpose of Extra Context

    • Including additional context in multiple-choice questions provides clarity and helps students understand the scenario better; it can enrich comprehension and improve engagement with the question.
